Uno: yes!
We’ve always liked Uno Restaurant on Tomas Morato in Quezon City: the food is great, the quality consistent, the place elegant but unpretentious, the service reliable. There’s also a better than average chance of running into friends who live or work in the neighborhood.
We hadn’t eaten there for a few months so when work brought us to QC last Friday we decided to drop in. After the excellent main course we looked at the dessert menu and did a double take. Then our double take did a double take.
Their cakes cost less than 100 pesos. We’ve gotten so used to getting gouged overpriced desserts that an inexpensive cake nearly makes us burst into tears. And the cakes were good—light, not teeth-wreckingly sweet, excellent companions for their non-overpriced coffee.
Lucky QC folk.
